2nd gen brake debate

Getting ready to upgrade my brake system. Just wanted to get some opinions on what's worth doing. Steel braided hoses are an obvious start and I don't think an oversized system out there. Recomendations? Any rear disc kits out there?

do you have anything to do with rockstar offroad in san jose?

anyways, ss lines are good..... but equally important is the equipment you use in the regular system..... i am not 100% sure on this, but i think there is a big brake kit that someone makes and also i htink there is a kit to bolt gm calipers onto the toyota

We are a high end fab/suspension shop. We did a bunch of work on the red off-road.com Tacoma. We are dealers for Total Chaos, Donahoe Racing, Fox, etc. I'd like to get some of the members down to the shop sometime.

for brake upgrades the FJ80 rear axle has discs. The tundra disc upgrade for 3rd gens has also been theorized to work on 2nd gens.
